Adding an Ad to a campaign with the Google Ads API

[AMD Google Registrations]

Hi all,

When creating a campaign through the Google Ads Manager Dashboard, I can add an ad as it is seen in the attached screenshot. This ad among others can have headlines, descriptions and target URLs.

However, I cannot find how this is supported through the API, the only resource I have found that can be linked to a campaign is an adGroup but for this resource i cannot find a headline parameter.

Am I missing something or is this functionality not supported through the API ?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.

The fields highlighted in your screenshot can be set in an Ad resource. You may refer to this REST endpoint guide for mutating AdGroupAds. You may see the AdGroupAdOperation request body data and check the fields available.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi all,

I have posted another issue i have and i will copy it here for ease of reference, 

I am using the API to create an Ad Group Criterion. The object in my json payload is 

{

            "campaignCriterionOperation": {

                "create": {

                    "resourceName": "customers/{{routeeClientId}}/campaignCriteria/-1~-2",

                    "displayName": "Keyword Criterion PHRASE not negative- sms api",

                    "type": "KEYWORD",

                    "status": "ENABLED",

                    "negative": false,

                    "keyword": {

                        "matchType": "PHRASE",

                        "text": "sms api"

                    }

                }

            }

        }

I get

"error": {

        "code": 400,

        "message": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"keyword\" at 'mutate_operations[3].ad_group_criterion_operation': Cannot find field.",

        "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",

        "details": [

            {

                "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",

                "fieldViolations": [

                    {

                        "field": "mutate_operations[3].ad_group_criterion_operation",

                        "description": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"keyword\" at 'mutate_operations[3].ad_group_criterion_operation': Cannot find field."

                    }

                ]

            }

        ]

    

What am i doing wrong ?

Many thanks in advance,

Kind regards
